Too early, not nearly enough meat on that, needs growing on a while.

[se7enthdevil]

not sure what you mean?

 

 

 

 

i've been chipping bark off and squashing anything that wriggles.

Hard to say without a sense of scale etc. Was it found in alive of dead wood?

Possibly Nacerdes melanura (Wharf borer) or similar.

i'm not 100% sure that it is the orange longhorn as it says in that link that it's a decimal point off of 7mm and is in the states. this one i have it 15mm long.

 

i have now trimed the side of the boards in question and they will go in the fire asap.
